Know Before You Go: How to Plan for Safety and Security
Speakers: Mark Hazard and David Solo, Universal Weather & Aviation
The world will never be the same. Security will
forever be at the forefront of business aviation
operations. And it’s not just the “normal”
regions of the world where one should have
heightened awareness. Glasgow bombings,
London train sabotages, Paris riots, and of
course, 9-11 in the United States.
Even cases that don’t make the international
news pose risks. We can no longer assume that it won’t happen there (or here)” – safety and
security are a concern everywhere.
So what do you do? First and foremost, have a
plan in place and practice it. This session will
walk you through the basic elements of a
security or emergency response plan as well as
provide helpful information that will help you
assess the safety level of a particular location –
and therefore help you determine the security
measures you need in place.

Alcoholism in the Flight Department, An Unrecognized Risk and Reality
Speaker: Dr. Quay Snyder, Virtual Flight Surgeons
Alcoholism affects over 8% of the US population. Pilots, flight attendants, maintainers and dispatchers are affected at the same rate. Unlike the usual stereotype, most alcoholics are employed at very demanding jobs and appear functionally normal. Unfortunately, there are many hidden risks, safety compromises and costs associated in the flight department with this wide-spread, but unrecognized, disease. The risks to safety, costs, careers and the reputation of a flight department are immense if an alcohol related incident occurs in aviation. They are preventable.
Fortunately, a well-established program addressing alcoholism in aviation exists to combat this problem while protecting the career of the pilot/employee, the safety of flight operations, the reputation and financial bottom line of the flight department. A joint program established by pilot unions, airlines and the FAA for over 30 years has returned over 4,000 alcoholic pilots to the cockpit. The program involves education, recognition, intervention, treatment and rehabilitation in a supportive, cooperative environment respecting dignity and confidentiality. The FAA fully supports establishing similar programs in business aviation.
This presentation addresses the disease model of alcoholism, the cost savings and safety benefits, the career protections, health and productivity benefits and the tools for establishing business aviation alcohol prevention programs. |

Operational Control- The FAA’s Intense Focus
Speaker: Greg Winton, Aviation Law Experts
Following an accident on February 2, 2005, involving an on-demand passenger charter flight operated by Platinum Jet Management, LLC (PJM), (under the auspices of a charter agreement with Darby Aviation), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) conducted a review of Part 119 certificate holders that were conducting operations under Part 135. The agency found that several operators had been authorized to use "doing business as" (DBA) names, which raised operational control issues. As a result, in December 2006, the FAA published Notice N8000.347, Revised Operations Specifications A008, requiring principal operations inspectors (POIs) to ensure compliance with the new OpSpec concerning operational control.
In August 2007, the FAA further determined that a Special Emphasis Inspection was required to ensure continued compliance with the operational control requirements of 14 C.F.R. Parts 119 and 135. As a result, the agency published Notice N8900.16, Special Emphasis Inspection: Operational Control. Pursuant to the Notice, POIs are required to accomplish an inspection between July 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007.
What is the FAA focusing on now to satisfy the operational control requirements of 14 C.F.R. Part 135? |
